Preparation of magnetic Fe-Co alloy using texture controlled technique

Magnetic properties of as-rolled 48Fe-52Co at% alloy inferred from in-plane magnetic hysteresis loops was similar Fe foil. Furthermore, magnetic properties of recrystallized and nitrided 48Fe-52Co at% alloy were different from Fe-Co particles or crushed bulk Fe-Co alloy prepared by arc melting. However, the internal diffusion of nitrogen was not adequate enough to bring about a considerable change in the magnetic properties. We believe that considerable crystal distortion to induce change in the magnetic properties can be exerted by introducing interstitial carbon and the addition of third or fourth elements.
